The Seattle Seahawks parted ways with longtime head coach Pete Carroll this offseason, and it sounds like the team is expecting a sort of adjustment period as they move on to new head coach Mike Macdonald.

During an appearance on his SeattleSports radio show on Thursday, Seattle Seahawks General Manager John Schneider admitted that “it’s gonna take time” before everyone gets on the same page with regard to a new regime change.

“I think when you have all these new ideas . . . and philosophies, ways to teach, schematics, what have you — all the coach-speak and football talk that goes into this, all the football knowledge — everybody coming together, of course it’s gonna take time,” Schneider said according to Pro Football Talk. “It’s gonna take time for everybody to get to know each other and that sort of thing, but I think really when you look at it, how can we bring this together and really merge this as quickly as you possibly can?”

But that doesn’t necessarily mean that it will lead to a step back on the field, saying that he does not think that the coaching change will have any “hindrances to what would lead to success on the field.”
